Potonted July MD, l2i'h Application filed January 31, 19119. Serial No. 711,359.

lle it known that l, Tioiuns il. 'Gnirrrrrn :i citizen of the United States, und e res1- dent of Cincinnati, in the eountj7 of Humilton und Stute of (Ehio, here invented Certuin new and useful improvements in Beds, of which the following' is u full, clear, und exact description, reference being hed to the accompanying' drawings, forming' port of this specification.

My invention relates to beds principally for infants, und has its Chief object the provision of n bubys bed which een lbe easily taken spurt, folded up und 'urried from one 'place to another. Further objects ure to provide z very inexpensive construetion, employing canvas, dnrh or nettingfor 'the sides and bottom of the be'd, und arranging' the parts .so their. the proper tuutness of the body muy be reudil)7 nniintuined.

The above objects und other inlvnntuges which will be noted l ieconiplish by that certain ConstructionV und urrunogement of ports to be hereinafter .more spec-.ideally pointed out und claimed.

In the drawings,

Figure l is u perspective view of the bed completo.

Fig. 2 is u section oi' the bed taken on 'the line 2, 2, of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is a perspective det-uil of the shoulder at the corners of the bed frame.

Fig. l is u vertical longitudinal section through the bed, on the line l, il, of Fig. l.'

Fig. 5 is u perspective of the bed knocked down und ready for transportation.

Fig. 6 is u. perspectiv` detail of. the ed justuble mounting means for the ino.'uble buse bur of the bed freine n'hirh takes up the slack in the run fus bodv thereof.

The freine of the bed is niude up of four corner posts l, which ure out to forni shoulders et 2. The sido burs Il, 3. nre shouldered :it 4, und the end bars 5 ure shouldered at (i. s shown in Fig. 3, these dovetuils ure arranged so that the side bers sent on the corner posts und the end burs sont from beneuth on the side bars whose ends protrude for that purpose. Bolt holcs 7 are bored in the ends of these various pieces to receive wing bolts 8 (for the side bers) und 9 (for the end bers).

The buse bers of the frame ere secured t the corner posts bv suitable Wing bolts 10 lct'into holes bored in the posts und the bers.

r@here are the tivo end buse bers ll, 1l, and one fixed side bur l2. By providing a. series of holes lf3 in the corner posts for the securing bolts l0 for the end buse bers, their position een be changed when necessary.

have found that but one side buse bar need be niovzible, although the movable side bar structure to be described ,muy be zipplied to both sides. ln the structure shown, the side buse bur l2 is bolted to the corner posts. The movable ber l5 is provided on its ends with curved plates i6, which extend down below the movable bers und form point or tongue 17. IThe corner posts are provided with slotted plates 18, the posts being bored out behind the slots. The tongue-s 17 then enter theslots 19, so that the ber is edjusb ably hung on the posts.

rl`he purpose of the adjustable side bese ber is to tighten the eenves bottoni ofthe bed. As shown in the drawings, there are two pieces of ounvus or duch, the long nurrow piece and the Wider piece Both pieces :ire formed With loops 20 to fit over theupper bars. rl`he piece A stretches from the one end top bur, down under the end bese bars, und buck up to the other eind ber at the top. The piece B is secure to the two side bars :ind is brought down around the two side buse bars underneath the piece A.

.lt can be observed that should the canvas bottom of the bed formed by the piece and supported underneath. by the piece B become sleek, that the lowering of the mov? able side bor will correct the error. The lowering of the ber will increase the size of 'the freine over ivhioh the piece E is stretched, and makes the piece B quite tout.

lt will be noted that the end ours at the buse ure positioned lower than the side bars, which brings the piece A after. it is brought uround the base bars, in an upward slant, thence across the piece B, thence down and around the other endbur and up to the top of the bed. The stretching` of the piece B will thus provide the telitness that is necessary for taking up the sleek of the bed, Should the side bars it the base of the bed below the end bars, however, the end bers would have to be moved down further on the corner posts, which is provided for by' the` series of holes 13 formed in the posts for this purpose.

lt can be seeny that the bed een he teken apart by merelyunserewng the bolts end Q Lesmo/i5 'secured together for lmookdowii purposes,

or other methods of securing the Wooden iti-ome together 1will readily suggest themselves.

Hoving thus clesoribed my invention, what l claim es new anni f lesireto secure by Let ters Potent7 is y A bed comprising 2L frame of corner posts, sin upper mtl lower set of bars et the y sides and ends, flexible ,fv'ebbing stretched.
